I LOVE Harry Potter. ♥ According to various tests taken on the Internet, Ravenclaw is the house I belong into. XD Moreover, as I was reading the books, Ravenclaw quickly became my favourite house ^^ So when I decided to make an outfit from the series, I didn't hesitate one second =P
The difficulty was chosing a character. :( We don't know many Ravenclaw girls, so I decided to be Penelope Clearwater or Padma Patil, according to the wigs I used with the costume.
This costume is half "closet cosplay" and half "family collaboration": I made the cape with my grandmother, my grandfather sculpted my wand, and my mother knitted the scarf. Besides the tie I (clumsily) handpainted, I had everything else. In fact, I first didn't have time to make the outfit from the 3rd movie so I took clothes in my closet, and I never took the time to make a proper outfit after this. I still like it a lot: I've worn it MANY times, for movies releases, photoshoots and various HP events, and I'm sure I'll wear it again in the future ^^
